Can I appeal an OWI that I was found guilty on?

When did they conviction occur, there is a very short time period during which you may have a right to appeal. From what you are stating conviction seems like it might be successfully appealed.

Can this DUI be dropped from her record? Would she have to name names ? Is there any legal precedence? Is the DUI actually hidden?

Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
A DUI cannot be expunged from your record and will stay on your permanent criminal record for ever. Unfortunately the reason for driving is not an element of the charge. The charge of DUI involves (1) driving on the roads of this state (2) consumed alcohol or controlled substances (3) normal faculties impaired or BAC >.08.  The reason for driving is not an element of the charge, nor is it a defense. If your friend was being harassed, she could have called the police, a taxi, or a friend to pick her up.  While the above may not be what you wanted to hear, it is the law. I believe in telling it like it is.

Can I appeal an OWI that I was found guilty on?

You can appeal rulings of the court (for example, denying a motion to suppress or motion for judgment of acquittal) but the jury decision is a finding of fact that is generally difficult to appeal.
